Hello Community With the release of openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 8[1], we have new images ready for you to test based on this latest release.
M8 is last milestone before RCs(Release Candidates) start. Some of the highlights of new kiwi-ltsp images are: * The image uses new clicfs[2] in place of squashfs+aufs that were used on 11.1. * Firefox, IceWM, xterm and now ekiga available as ltsp-localapps out of the box * Graphical boot loader, thanks to Alkisg for tip :) * CONFIGURE_X no longer required To try this new image on currently running server: mv /srv/kiwi-ltsp /srv/kiwi-ltsp-backup mv /srv/tftpboot/boot /srv/tftpboot/boot.backup mv /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/lts.conf /srv/tftpboot/lts.conf.backup zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ltsp/openSUSE_11.1/ server:ltsp (on 11.1) zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ltsp/openSUSE_Factory/ server:ltsp (on 11.2) zypper refresh zypper in kiwi-ltsp-prebuilt-unstable kiwi-ltsp-bootimages-unstable kiwi-desc-ltsp kiwi-ltsp-setup -c Boot up the thin clients. Another major announcement is the new home for kiwi-ltsp, we have now moved to launchpad[3] as novell forge[4] is shutting down. To get the code from launchpad: bzr branch lp:kiwi-ltsp I am yet to figure out if launchpad does mailing lists to migrate both the lists we have on Novell forge. All the bugs and feature requests now goes on launchpad[5] :). Looking forward to your testings and bug/feature requests. -J [1] http://news.opensuse.org/2009/10/01/opensuse-11-2-milestone-8-released/ [2] http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/04/28/whats-behind-lzma-compressed-livecds/ [3] https://launchpad.net/kiwi-ltsp [4] http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/KIWI-LTSP [5] https://bugs.launchpad.net/kiwi-ltsp/+filebug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
